The Bald Soprano

„FIRE CHIEF: Speaking of that – the bald soprano?  MRS. SMITH: She always wears her hair in the same style.“  (Eugene Ionesco – The Bald Soprano)

THE BOOK OF MEMORIES

THE BOOK OF DISQUIET

„The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd – The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.“  (Fernando Pessoa  – The Book of Disquiet)

„My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. […]. I’m two, and both keep their distance — Siamese twins that aren’t attached.”  (Fernando Pessoa  – The Book of Disquiet)
